    Net Neutrality Your Way

    Need help/confirmation from someone else on GTX280 temp

    Interesting info... I've been forum apathetic in recent months... My 1st XFX XXX GTX280 hovered around mid-70s under load until it went bad. This card was purchased shortly after the nVidia price drop prior to X2 from Egg when they got shipments. This card was short-lived at the Egg. My...

    XFX GeForce GTX 280 and 260 XXX Edition @ [H]

    I received by XXX replacement card this past Wednesday, a not so clean, factory replacement. I hope they didn't just send me a factory return(turnaround) from a reseller. I ran 3DMark06 and artifacts and polygon corruption on test 1 & 2. Sometimes, the firefly in the tree scene locked up PC...

    XFX GeForce GTX 280 and 260 XXX Edition @ [H]

    I finally got a tech response in my online ticket this past Friday with a tracking#. Takes them +5 business days from bench test confirmation to actual shipping of replacement. My replacement should arrive on Wednesday. It better be a XXX 670 clocked version that works as advertised. Think...

    XFX GeForce GTX 280 and 260 XXX Edition @ [H]

    Last Friday, XFX tech support confirmed my GT280 XXX(2 months old from Newegg) is bad through in-house, bench tests. No advance replacement mechanism. No response until today about the replacement status. Today, I get a message saying I'll be contacted when the replacement will be sent out...

    Samsung 244T - finally!

    I am keeping the 244T as my general use monitor. I may have some regret if a new 23"-24" panel is introduced that has great overall performance, but that the biz... I received the NEC LCD20WMGX2 (silver/whilte) yesterday. A huge difference in input response. The reflective screen is a...

    Dell 2407 Info?

    Looks like the 2407 uses the updated Samsung panel used in the 244T. See here for some info on the 244T: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=966291&highlight=244T May just be a cheaper version of the 244T.

    Samsung 244T - finally!

    Kleox64, I may keep the Sammy for my regular use(vertical res concerns, too) and look at multi setup. Just when I thought I could clean up my workstation area... Sammy tilts, Sony doesn't. Tempest, I found the rebate from Buy.com, went to necdisplay and looked up the authorized resellers...

    Samsung 244T - finally!

    Sorry guys... talking out of my a$$. I thought I saw different results from a few minutes varying resolutions and forcing 4:3/16:9 on the Sammy. After playing longer at each resolution and monitor aspect ratio, lag seems equal. It's all monitor doing the lag. Some games are manageable...

    Samsung 244T - finally!

    I bought the 244T from a site that had return satisfaction clauses. So far, it seems nice for most things.... except the lag... I did some unscientific tests and draw some thoughts... DVI using 7800, mouse accel off, DX max rendered frames set to 1. I perceive the lag is worse at higher...
